I dig this book. I grew up in the heart of Los Angeles and remember days when I could not run outside because the smog level was so bad that 10 minutes of running would do the lung damage of a pack of cigarettes. I deal with environmental law issues on a near daily basis so reading treatises and studies such as these pose no problems to me, and if you can handle reading the WSJ, the Economist, or even the Atlantic, this should be easily to digest. Even if you aren't an enviro-nerd.



Sperling and Gordon manage to make a relatively dense topic - car emissions and environmental topic - and keep it easy to read. I have read hundreds of studies and analysis of varieties of issues but few are as easy to sell and understand as the work of Sperling and Gordon. It hits the issue head on: the problems of a car-based transportation system and the pros and cons of the solutions. For either work, inspiration, or pleasure, if you have any interest in this topic, this is the place to start.
